Hi all

I have a hell problem. I have been having fun with hex-editing MW in a savegame. But when i checked my original savegame I was at the same possition when I was on #8 in the blacklist. But now I'm in the same possition! I'm #8 and I have the same bouty/cash when I was #8! How this can be? Is there a way to back?

What?

OK, heres the thing.

I was #3 on the blacklist. I did a copy of that savegame for fun. I hex-edited the copy. Then got bored and started to play my savegame. But when I loaded the game, I was #8. I have the same money, the same bounty, same cars when I was #8. It's someting like a restore to #8.

So can I get back to #3?

13 KB doesn't hurt.

Every time you post a sig over 50kb, GT kills a kitten.

And every time GT kills a kitten, he gets whacked over the head with a Cricket bat - wielded by Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff.

This is why he doesn't like it

Poor little kitten, Why don't you just kill a rbiit instaed. At least you can eat it.

There is no possible way the savegame went back in time like you say it did. I think you allredy had a backedup copy, and when you tryed to copy again the #3 file, Windows asked "Overwrite?", and you cliked "NO".

Did the word backup pass through your head when you tried Hex editing?

Obviously not...

Hell yes. I did a backup........
I hex-edited the backup. The original save was original and not hex-edited..

thats wierd...sure your not loading the backup every time?

I'm guessing, without some clear information, that you loaded your backup file and it autosaved over the original file. But thats just a guess. I'm thinking the folder names might have been different, but the actual save file names were still the same. Doesn't really make much sense, but thats about all I can figure...

if your goner backup a file back it up to a completely different location then your normal one because the game will auto load the backup for certain
